2011 Lineup

[Joe-]

Courteeners are playing MEN arena as well...

[Vieuphoria]

They are only doing one Arena though because they are from Manchester. I think.

[Leyser]

Yeah, like SECC and MEN those tiny little clubs.

[Role Model]

Kanye West. go on, be different. Amazing show, and he should blow up even huger after this new album.

I'd love Beastie Boys. Not sure how well Jay-z would go down, probably would be alright.

[j-j-j-j-joe!]

Regardless of whether you like them, MCR are pretty likely.

It depends on how well the new album does, but if it does very well, (which i can see it doing), then their live comeback has been successful enough for Festival Republic to take a risk, especailly if the other headliners are particularly strong.

[Role Model]

MCR are shocking live, but it's not like that matters.

Because it's cool to dislike them

[Lithium05]

Apologies if i've taken this post wrong, but why wouldn't Monkeys be headline material?

[mortigi]

Strokes, White Stripes, Blur, Pixies, QOTSA/TCV, Smashing Pumpkins, Brand New, Pavement?

[Vieuphoria]

I believe Pavement have gone back to each each other... which is a shame because they are very good live. Would be a superb booking for Reading.

2 albums (at the time tickets went on sale) with chart/commercial success, a bit of a joke to people outside their target audience, found success by producing similar music to bigger/more established bands who are/were popular when the burst onto the scene.

I'm fairly sure the above applies to both Arctic Monkeys and MCR, except possibly the 2 albums bit as I'm not sure how commercially successful the MCR album before The Black Parade was.
